Leading Net Neutrality Activist Campaigned on Behalf of al-Qaeda Supporter
Breitbart ^ | 3 Dec 2015 | Allum Bokhari

An influential activist who met with members of the Obama Administration to promote net neutrality campaigned on behalf of a convicted Al Qaeda supporter, Breitbart Tech can reveal.

Evan Greer is the campaign director for Fight For The Future, which led grassroots efforts to promote net neutrality to the Obama Administration. Her writing has appeared in The Guardian, and she describes herself as a “touring queer riot-folksinger.” For three years, she also campaigned on behalf of Tarek Mehanna, an open admirer of Osama Bin Laden who was convicted of aiding al-Qaeda in 2012.

Mehanna was convicted in 2012, after prosecutors proved that in 2004 he attempted to attend a training camp in Yemen, with the intention of going to Iraq to fight coalition forces. Upon returning to the US, Mehanna translated and disseminated materials described by prosecutors as al-Qaeda propaganda. Mehanna was open about his support for Osama bin Laden’s call to expel foreign powers from Muslim countries.

al-Qaeda loves the queer riots. Yes, I read the article: apparently she has believed that Mehanna was unjustly convicted by racists. Even so, she describes herself as having helped certain "Muslim communities," and I wonder what the people in them think of such sexual orientations.
